But can we at least agree that Worf’s a great big baby?

I bet as bionics improve and become more commonplace, elective replacement is going to become an issue.

And Paul, I’m gonna have to be THAT guy and point out that Worf didn’t get a bionic spine. If I remember correctly Dr. Crusher’s colleague replicated him a new organic one from his own DNA.

I know what you mean. It is such a bizare feeling. Never having met any of the people of the Nerdist podcast I still feel like I have. I listen to them every few days. They talk about their lives and I feel myself worrying about Matt and his bad back. I feel happy everytime he has lost more weight like he is a friend. Makes me feel weird.

Thu, 19 May 2011 23:32:50 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=20240#comment-37042Sadly, I’m at the age where I’d probably just ask for bionic knees that bend completely and don’t hurt in the presence of any sort of humidity.

Also, I’d like to see Matt get one of those bionic spines like they gave Worf the one time a bunch of empty plastic crates fell on him in the loading bay. (Worf is SUCH a baby.)

Thanks

I have a family member who lost the use of her hand and had multiple painful surgeries to try and regain some function and it still only is barely capable of doing what these prostetics can. I know if she was a candidate she would not hesistate.

ShishAAAH!
